Timelies all!
Congrats on the house, Scrappy!
I've taken Percoset once, after getting two wisdom teeth out. Slept a while, then was hazy for a bit. I only got one dose.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Because books.
I kind of want Carol Kane from The Princess Bride to come running into my brain shouting "LIAR!" when my thoughts are crap.
There should totally be an app for that.

Art Crawl!!!
Perhaps I should have abbreviated the show. . .
Also: I hope I am even a tiny portion of the bad ass that the woman they interviewed is. . . she is also an incredibly positive person. Which, I guess, makes sense if you're traveling all over the world and getting on strange horses to ride them at a dead run while shooting at targets with a bow and arrow.
ETA: one of the other people they interviewed this morning was a coach for the Mongol Derby.

not your mom's socks.
can I get a bit of nonspecific shiny-object~ma for the next couple months? (if it exists?) ... for no reason, really. none. Whatsoever.

Was it Ben Franklin who said, if you have a complicated job to get done, give it to the laziest person in the room?
That was the premise in Cheaper By The Dozen. The father was an efficiency expert and always asked to watch the laziest person on the assembly line because they were the most efficient.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
But it's a short-term fix, not long-term. Even after surgery, I've relied on less than the prescribed dosages after a couple of days.
Then you were extremely lucky.

Coding and Sleeping
Glad I'm not the only one who went there.
The great thing about this place is that I knew for certain that someone would pick up on that one word reference.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
>And just think -- you could be like me and focus on neither house chores NOR health!
That's my usual weekend M.O. even though I keep thinking I should do Pilates.
That is some productivity, aurelia!
It was a rare burst outside of work. I did sleep until noon on Saturday, so maybe I finally caught up on sleep enough to be productive at home.
The clearly correct way is to take the drawers out and carry each of them and the cabinet to the moving truck, then put the full drawers back in and do the opposite at the other end. Easy peasy.
I'm on team Scrappy. Just pack things around it to keep the drawers from opening in transit (or wrap the cabinet once it's on the truck).
Remember that day some dude swatted my ass when I was out on my lunch break? Did I mention that here, or FB? I think this is the guy. [link]
